So my new Russian tort has been having some diarrhea the past 2 or 3 days I’ve had him. I don’t know what diet he was on at the store I got him at. but he’s had it sense the day I got him earlier this week it’s not a constant thing just once a day or less( like every other day)will it go away with proper diet? Is it from the stress of a new home? Will soaking him more often help? Please help!
Poop help please![emoji90]

Have no fear there are members here who have all the answers. But just a note on my tort, Different species, but I adopted a 5 year old Sulcata and she had diarrhea/non solid poos for the first month I had her. When I got grass into her diet she began to poop like a tortoise. (Google photos if you don’t know what normals are supposed to look like). And I noticed romain and spring mix have to be random, soaced out supplements whith koopa or she gets liquid butt. Hehe
He probably wasn't getting much fiber plus stress. I think a better diet and just getting settled in will help. I'd soak more often just to make sure he doesn't get dehydrated though.
Russian torts don’t eat grass. He needs more dark greens, and proper diet. Please read our species spacific are for Russian torts. It will give you all the info you need for him.

Yes, it is probably some combination of stress and poor diet.
Yes, it will likely go away.
Yes, it is super nervewracking for new owners!
Read the Russian care sheet pinned to the top of this subforum and get us some pictures of the enclosure so we can provide more feedback.
